Some of these machines are just plain ridiculously modded too. I don’t even know what half of it means! I have been on a few full mod 1100 drag sleds 1 world record setter .

Watch the second run at 191.15. Probably 70k plus into this sled. The driver Flyin’ Ryan is 15. Sick.

Around here, I don't think it is that much and if you have top speed of the day, it may be a few hundred extra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I doubt it....there is a local guy named Denny Mousseau that used to race a lot and still may and from talking to him it wasn't very lucrative even with a little help from D&D.
